Voyager Oil and Gas In-Play -- From Yahoo.com
6:56AM Voyager Oil & Gas provides operations update; 2Q2012 average production was ~ 900 barrels of oil equivalent per day, a 40% increase over 1Q2012, in-line with co projections (VOG) 1.45 : Co had 6.44 net (150 gross) Williston Basin wells producing from the Bakken and Three Forks formations at June 30, 2012. The Company added 1.41 net (32 gross) Bakken/Three Forks wells to production during the second quarter of 2012. An additional 1.22 net (31 gross) wells were being drilled or awaiting completion as of June 30, 2012 and are expected to be additive to production during the second half of 2012. ~ 225 rigs are currently drilling in the Williston Basin with 210 to 215 rigs drilling in North Dakota and 10 to 15 rigs drilling in northeastern Montana. Voyager expects that the current level of drilling activity will continue and much of its acreage will be developed and converted into producing wells. Approximately 34% of Voyager's current acreage is held by production, either by producing wells or wells that are in the process of being drilled or awaiting completion.
Apple iPad Rumor -- If Accurate, It Will Kill The Competition -- Absolutely Nothing About the Bakken
Link here to MacRumors.
If it is "too cheap," the Justice Department will investigate.
On another note. But related.
I brought up a computer issue with a close family friend who is in charge of buying PCs for a fairly large southern California company.
The issue is this: we have a relative, on a tight budget, looking to buy a new computer, and absolutely wants an Apple. All she plans to use the computer for is a) occasional e-mail; and, b) make flight reservations and print airline tickets, rarely.
Seriously that's it.
She is on a tight budget, and $300 is a lot of money for her to spend on any one item of anything. Right now she has dial-up and rarely uses her computer. With her new computer, she will get cable internet at home.
She absolutely wants an Apple. Personally, I won't buy anything other than Apple, and have had Apples only in the house since my first home computer in 1984 (actually I had a TRS back in 1978, I think it was).
But I can't justify a $1200 Apple computer for someone on a limited budget who plans to use it for occasional e-mail and occasional flight reservations when one can do that with a $300 Lenovo.
So, I brought that up with our close family friend who grew up with PCs, is a bit of a computer geek, and doesn't like the way Apple restricts one's ability to get "inside" operating system to modify it for one's one use. But after years of buying computers for the company she works for, without hesitation, when hearing the above, she said: iPad.
Only problem: printing. An iPad is really part of an Apple eco-system and an Apple computer is necessary even for those who want only a tablet.
She agrees. But even with all that she still sticks with recommending an Apple computer.
I pressed the argument -- Window PCs are practically identical to the casual computer user these days, but still our friend, a huge PC user wouldn't budge. For neophytes and occasional users of the internet, the Apple iPad or Apple laptop is still her recommendation. I was quite surprised.
The company is developing a new tablet with a 7.85-inch screen that is likely to sell for significantly less than the latest $499 iPad, with its 9.7-inch display, according to several people with knowledge of the project who declined to be named discussing confidential plans. The product is expected to be announced this year.If accurate, this could blow away the competition. An iPad the size of a Kindle and about the same price?!
